NEW Zoo of Brown County, WI

Zoomobile Programs

There are two different types of Zoomobile programs offered, a presentation or an exhibit table. The presentation style will last about 1 hour. There are many presentation themes to choose from or we can create one with your specific needs. The exhibit table style is with or without live animals. The exhibit table can be reserved for multiple hours. The exhibit table is set up so people can walk up at their own leisure and talk to zoo staff. Three or four animals will accompany both the presentation and the exhibit style programs.
